I'm looking for a developer to re-build my site from the ground up, and then stick around on an ad-hoc basis to add features/fix bugs/etc.

I am the owner of a large reviews website. The site has 20k+ members, 6k+ products, and 20k+ reviews. It receives over a million visits a month, and is my "full-time" job.

I built the site in 2006 as I was learning PHP. I started with the basics, then kept adding features along the way. My strategy was always "keep messing around with it until it works, then stop". Eventually I integrated (very sloppily) an SMF forum. Now it is a huge site that was hack-jobbed together over the years by a PHP amateur (me).

Bottom line is that the code is sloppy and outdated, and so is the layout. I'm too busy with sales and managing the community, so I need someone to completely re-built the website from the ground up, and also re-do the design (bring your designer in if you have one).

Please let me know the following:
1. Your background in PHP/MySql (education, work history)
2. Hourly rate for odd-jobs
3. How many hours a week you will be putting into this project
4. Framework that you like to use, or none at all
5. Do you do the design as well or have someone you like to work with?
6. Examples of your work that are similar to this project (include URLs).
7. Your email address/skype. I'd prefer to get to know you through email rather than PM.

I'm Blake with jaylogan.com.
To give you an example, we re-designed/upgraded this site http://www.hiphopdx.com/ recently which has a majority of the functions that your requesting "tuned" to the site.

If you haven't already decided on a co. to work with, go ahead and gimme a shout to blake at jaylogan.com

Your Q's Answered (noo particular order)
Code ingiter framework :: php/mysql so we'd use that; 10 plus yrs lead developer experience
9 years in biz - small co. Atlanta based
$30 per hour/prefer project $$ per milestone - simpler, more cost effective for clients etc..for mainteneance/odd jobs = we can work something agreeable out
unsure on how many hrs per week as yet - need to talk on that before committing
example url and contact mail above
we can do design inhouse, or work with your peeps -either/or
Integrating API's s no problem, worked on tons - built plenty ourselves

So - oh yeah, for that example we also built custom API to feed to others, and its good~

So shoot me an email, lets see if we can pull this together.
Looking forward to hearing from you~
